Challenge of the week: imagine an animal unlike any other. You cannot use any other animal resources to create this new one.

Can't do it.

Human beings are not very good at creating things. We cannot even come up with a completely original idea of a new animal. How is this even possible?  Are we not the most intelligent of all of the animals?

Our lack of creativity is a result of being a created creature (alliteration intended). We didn't design what animals look like someone or something else did. How then can we create something new, when we lack the capacity to do so?

Paramenides applied this reasoning not just to animals but to truth. Humans cannot manufacture truth, our capacity only allows us to seek it, and build off of what others have found. The only way to discover truth is to use our brains and our logical reasoning to recognize it where it exists.

I think that this can equally apply to love and righteousness, but we must use different organs for that*
